Macworld Eddy Award

Professional recognition is nice, and that’s one of the reasons that companies like to win awards like Macworld’s Eddy Award.

Of course these awards bring corporate bragging rights as well, and for big companies like Apple and Adobe that’s about as far as it goes.

When you’re a software designer at a small company that wins an award it’s a bit of a personal triumph as well. After all, the architecture of PhoneValet is my baby, and lots of the software has my stamp on it too. When you work for a small company you can see yourself in the products in a way that you really can’t when you are a little cog in a big wheel.

So, the guys have their pictures with the thing too, but here I am with my Macworld trophy.

Link between Autism and Vaccination

In 1998, Andrew Wakefield published an article in the Lancet asserting that vaccinated children had a higher prevalence of autism, an assertion later shown to be false.

At the time, vaccination rates dropped from 92% to 78%, and there have been cases of children dying from these preventable diseases.

It now appears that Dr. Wakefield was paid over £400 000 by lawyers who were trying to trump up lawsuits against the makers of the vaccines. Wakefield’s co-workers were also paid hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Parents who chose not to vaccinate their kids should be suing everyone in sight right now.

A cool site that tells you how to build a lighting studio for macro photography for well under $10. Looks cool… I want to try it.
